Safety at Sea Seminar - Important!
ISAF/OSR2 requirements stipulate that "At least 30%, but not less than two members, of a crew, including the skipper, shall have undertaken training within the five years before the start of the race." Attend a one/two day-long seminar on safe seamanship, heavy-weather tactics, and boat preparation. See safety-equipment demos and crew-overboard-recovery techniques and participate in "hands-on" training. Pose questions to panels of expert blue water sailors. The Seminar for the 2011 Marblehead to Halifax Race and for the 2011 Marion to Bermuda Race will be held at MIT on March 19 and 20, 2011.
Does having a master's license and offshore certification exempt me from this?
ReplyDeleteWould certainly think so? Your level of training is way beyond this for your work.
